Mimoh Chakraborty reflects on the harsh criticism following his debut film Jimmy, detailing his initial anger and isolation. He emphasizes the crucial support from his family, which helped him cope and rebuild his career. Chakraborty also shares how landing a role in Haunted 3D became a turning point, despite industry skepticism, and highlights his resilience in the face of setbacks. Mimoh Chakraborty is no stranger to the harsh spotlight that comes with a film debut—especially when it doesn't go as planned. In a candid appearance on SCREEN's Dear Me, the actor reflected on the painful aftermath of his debut film Jimmy, which was met with sharp criticism. From feeling isolated and angry to finding healing through his family's unwavering support, Mimoh shared how the experience became a turning point in his life and career. Anger, backlash, and learning to cope Reflecting on the failure of Jimmy, Mimoh Chakraborty shared that hitting rock bottom helped him grow. He said the experience taught him resilience and the importance of earning success rather than expecting it. According to Mimoh, the setback helped him stop taking things personally or for granted and pushed him to rebuild with greater understanding and humility. Mimoh Chakraborty recalled the intense criticism he faced after the release of Jimmy, admitting he was initially filled with anger and disbelief. He had expected a mixed response at worst but was caught off guard by the harsh backlash. At the time, he struggled to understand the negativity, feeling the film wasn't as bad as it was made out to be. However, with time and perspective, Mimoh shared that he has moved on and no longer takes the criticism to heart—he can now read old reviews without being affected. Media scrutiny and the power of kindness Mimoh Chakraborty reflected on how overwhelming the media scrutiny was after Jimmy released, saying the constant criticism in newspapers and on television deeply affected him. At the time, he struggled to cope and felt a lot of anger. However, he shared that the experience taught him an important lesson—that kindness is the better response, especially in an environment where negativity spreads easily and quickly. How parents stood by him Mimoh Chakraborty opened up about how his family stood by him during the difficult phase following the failure of his debut film Jimmy. He shared that his parents, Mithun Chakraborty and Yogeeta Bali , offered unwavering support—not as industry veterans, but as caring parents. His siblings, too, created a positive and protective atmosphere at home, never making him feel like a disappointment. Mimoh revealed he didn't leave the house for nearly a year, choosing instead to retreat from the limelight and focus on self-healing. At just 25, he was grappling with intense self-criticism, and it was his family who gave him the space and strength to process the setback. Haunted 3D Mimoh Chakraborty recalled that after the failure of Jimmy, landing a role in Vikram Bhatt 's Haunted 3D came as a breakthrough—though not without challenges. After spending a year away from the spotlight, he created a fresh portfolio and approached several filmmakers. To his surprise, many received him warmly. However, he shared that Vikram Bhatt was advised by several people not to cast him, as a negative perception had already formed in the industry. Mimoh reflected on how, at the time, he didn't fully grasp the industry's commercial dynamics, admitting, 'If I'm not seen as a sellable actor, why would anyone want to work with me? Mimoh Chakraborty also revealed that he was replaced from several projects—even after reaching the set—but drew strength from remembering his father Mithun Chakraborty's own struggles in the industry. On the work front, Mimoh was last seen in Khakee: The Bengal Chapter. He will next appear in Haunted 2, slated for release in September this year.

Mimoh Chakraborty opens up about dealing with Jimmy's failure, recalls how parents Mithun Chakraborty and Yogeeta Bali reacted: ‘I was very angry, didn't step out of the house for a year'
Actor Mimoh Chakraborty recently sat down for a heartwarming chat on SCREEN's Dear Me. During the conversation, he opened up about the poor reception of his debut film Jimmy, recalling how the criticism initially made him angry. Mimoh also shared how his father, Mithun Chakraborty, and mother, Yogeeta Bali, reacted to the negativity he faced. The actor revealed that the setback with Jimmy ultimately changed his perspective and approach. Talking about the failure of Jimmy, Mimoh said, 'Once you come crashing down and hit rock bottom, the only way is up. I am very thankful for all those failures in my life. After Jimmy, I had to understand the actual way of coming up again. If you get everything so easily, you won't value it. Of course, it's a setback, but those shouldn't make you disappear. Jimmy taught me never to take anything personally or for granted.'

He said, 'It was a lot of anger. I did not expect it to be that bad. I was practically telling myself that the majority might like me or find me okay, but it turned out to be something that was completely unplanned for. The backlash I got, I just wondered why it was happening, because in my head, the film wasn't that bad. Today, when I look back at it, none of it affects me. If you now make me read an article of someone criticizing Jimmy, I will read it as if nothing happened.' 'Back then, all of that wasn't cool for me. It was all in the paper and the news everywhere. I was very angry. But I think you have to deal with everyone with kindness; hate is very free to roam around, it spreads like wildfire,' Mimoh added. A post shared by Mahaakshay Chakraborty (@mimohchakraborty) Talking about how his family supported him, Mimoh Chakraborty shared, 'My parents gave me immense support during that time. Forget about being an actor, I am their child first. Whatever I am today is because of my parents. My siblings were my best friends, and they kept a very good, positive, and protective environment at home. Not once did I feel that they were feeling bad for me or were upset with me. They supported me even more. I didn't step out of the house for a year, and they gave me my space. After Jimmy, I just moved away from the limelight; I didn't want to be seen. I wanted to change the way I looked at myself. Back then, it was all self-criticism; I was blaming myself. Mom, dad, and my siblings gave me the time to heal. I was just 25 and I took my time. Everybody goes through this, but we don't talk about it.' Don't Miss: When Mimoh revealed father Mithun Chakraborty didn't help with his film debut: 'He didn't make me feel like a star kid' Mimoh also recalled that after Jimmy's failure, when he landed a role in Vikram Bhatt's Haunted 3D, many people advised the director to reconsider his decision. 'After that 1 year, I made a portfolio and went to every director and producer, they were all very nice. I was thinking that not everybody would give me work, but I bagged Haunted. That time Vikram Bhatt was told not to sign me and he was making a mistake. A perception was formed in the industry. If I am not a sellable actor, why would anyone want to work with me? Back then, I didn't understand that.' Mimoh Chakraborty further shared how many times he was replaced from projects after reaching the set; however, remembering his father's struggles kept him going. On the work front, Mimoh was last seen in Khakee: The Bengal Chapter. He will next be seen in Haunted 2, which is slated to release in September this year.

(Also read: Mimoh Chakraborty 'didn't leave the house for a year' after debut film flopped: 'Phone stopped ringing, cheques bounced') In a conversation with Bollywood Bubble, Mimoh said, "The meanest things were like they were making fun of my mom. I would understand for my dad, yes, carrying his legacy. Mere zariye, they were insulting dad, because you cannot pinpoint and say ki Mithun Chakraborty isme kharab tha. (They were insulting my father through me because they knew they can't say that Mithun was wrong in this). It's because his legacy is so strong, toh unko laga chalo Mimoh ke through humlog Mithun Chakraborty ko bhi gaali de denge (They thought 'let's abuse Mithun Chakraborty through Mimoh')." The 40-year-old actor added that there were many people in the industry who insulted his family. "Forget normal people, audience, it was people from the industry jo khule aam jaake mom ka mazaak uda rahe the. (People from the industry were joking about my mother) And it became a little too much for me. Ki yaar mere tak thik hai, dad tak thik hai, but mom pe mat jaao, (it is fine with me, it is fine with dad, but don't target my mother.) You know. But then I know we all go through this," Mimoh said. Mimoh made his debut in 2008 with Jimmy directed by Raj N Sippy, which also starred Vivana Singh and Rahul Dev. The film was panned by critics and audiences and holds a rating of 1.7/10 on IMDb. After that, he was seen in couple of Hindi and Bengali films like Haunted 3D, Loot, Rocky and some shorts like Holy Smoke! and Ab Mujhe Udhnaa hai.
